As has been said it will be very expensive to buy a Gauss meter to measure your magnets and even then it won't mean much.
What you CAN do is to determine which magnets are stronger and/or equal. Do this by simply dipping each magnet in a pile of small nails/tack/ball bearings and count how many each magnet picks up. This will obviously be a relative and non-dimensional measurement ( in the accepted sense) but may suit your purpose. If you have a scale you could measure the weight of the nails.
Again as has been said to do this scientifically you'll need to buy a MM or make your own. There are threads about DIY magnet marshals.
